KNOWING THE NAVY
This week we bring to the fore, in
our Navy's history as a babe, some
facts relative to the part the Naval
forces played in the war with Mexico,
in 1846.
• • •
As soon as the War with Mexico
began, in 1846, the U. S. Navy im­mediately
took possession of Monter­ey,
San Francisco, and Los Angeles,
and within one month the U. S. Flag
was flying over every commanding
position in California.
• • •
Early in the Mexican War the Mexi­cans
recaptured Los Angeles from
the U. S. Naval Forces, but a combined
force of soldiers, sailors and marines
quickly marched from San Diego and
after a two- days battle made U. S.
authority in California permanent.
• • •
The chief work of the U. S. Navy in
the War with Mexico was the bloc­ade
and seizure of the Mexican ports
on the Gulf of Mexico, the trans­portation
of troops to Vera Cruz and
assistance in the · a. tta. ck on Vera Cruz. -
I~ the attack on Vera Cruz by U. S.
Army and Navy forces during the
War with Mexico, the Navy covered
the landing of the Army and landed
10,000 troops in a single day.
* * *
The first American Man- of- war to
round the Horn and enter the Pacific
was the frigate ESSEX. She was also
the first American man- of- war to
round the Cape of Good Hope.

The first vessel to fly the Stars
and Stripes was the 18- gun RANGER
whose captain was John Paul Jones.

NEW DEAL IN THE NAVY
The coming year is going to see
the possibility of making the Navy a
career, a reality. With numerous new
ships being constructed, replacements
and turnover of personnel is bound
to result in a larger complement.
Rates are no longer going to be stale­mated,
and with honest effort ad­vancement
in rating should, under
ordinary circumstances, be rapid.
Many rates in all branches are to be
open for advancement during the
coming year, and men are advised
to complete the necessary educational
courses in order that they may be
eligible for advancement.
